About
Loseley Park is set in rolling countryside just south of Guildford. A drive through fields and traditional farm buildings opens out to a view of Loseley House and the magnificent Cedar of Lebanon standing beside it.
The House is a stunning example of Elizabethan architecture. It was built in 1562 by Sir William More out of stone mostly brought from the ruins of the Cistercian Waverley Abbey near Farnham, now over 860 years old.
Inside Loseley House, the Great Hall is particularly awe-inspiring with imposing panelling from Henry VIII’s Nonsuch Palace and many fine works of art, paintings and furniture from the 16th Century.
The Drawing Room with its gilded ceiling decorated for a visit from James I has another unique feature in its chimneypiece, which was carved out of one solid piece of chalk. Such intricate work, to a Holbein design, would have demanded great skill from a wood carver, but in chalk it is a fantastic achievement.
The Walled Garden to the East of the House has been carefully restored over the last 14 years and is now one of the Loseley’s most popular features. It is compared favourably to gardens of national renown and contains a series of ‘rooms’ each with a different character, including an award-winning rose garden, colourful fruit and flower garden, a white garden, a herb garden and an extensive organic vegetable garden. There is also a richly coloured vine walk and a restful moat with abundant wildlife. A wildflower meadow is another recent addition.
The sweeping lawns in front of Loseley House extend across to the Front Park and an avenue of chestnut trees leads down to the lake.
Tucked away in the grounds and bridleways are several quaint cottages, farm buildings and bothys which bring further fascinating history and interest to the Estate.
The following are a few examples of the TV and film productions that have been filmed at Loseley Park:
“Lyre Bird; Belgravia; The Crown; The Favourite; The Man Who Knew Infinity; Midsomer Murders; Emma; Foyle’s War; Miss Marple; Sense and Sensibility; Neverland; Blackadder; Time Team; Jane Eyre; Blair; Elizabeth the Virgin Queen; Royal Gardens; Hound of the Baskervilles.”
